Firebox & Network Security

A properly configured edge, not just a box on the wall.

Your firewall decides what gets in, what gets out and what one compromised device can reach. XTM sizes, configures and manages WatchGuard Firebox appliances so those decisions match how your business actually operates.

What it does

Network security in plain terms.

Access control

Decide who and what can reach each part of your network. Staff, guests, servers and devices are separated so a problem in one place does not spread everywhere.

Threat inspection

Traffic entering and leaving your network is checked for malicious content, known bad destinations and suspicious behaviour before it reaches a device.

Branch protection

Every site gets the same standard of protection, with secure links between offices so remote sites are not the weak point.

Central management

Policies, updates and reporting live in one place. Changes roll out consistently instead of being made device by device.

Licensing

Basic or Total Security Suite?

WatchGuard bundles the Firebox services into two subscription levels. The right choice depends on how much you rely on the firewall to do the detecting, and how much visibility you want.

Basic Security Suite

The core protections most sites need: firewalling, intrusion prevention, web and content filtering, antivirus scanning and standard reporting. A sound baseline for a straightforward single-site network.

Total Security Suite

Everything in Basic plus the advanced services: broader threat detection and correlation, richer visibility and reporting, and the extras that make managed monitoring far more useful. The usual choice where downtime or data loss would really hurt.

Not sure which fits? We will tell you what you would actually gain from the step up rather than defaulting to the larger licence.

How XTM works

Supplied, configured and looked after.

  • Sizing the right appliance for your site count, users and internet speed
  • Configuring policies, segmentation and remote access to suit your workflows
  • Applying firmware and subscription updates so protection does not quietly lapse
  • Reviewing reports and tuning rules as your business changes
  • One local point of contact when something needs changing or explaining
